Custom-formulated industrial biodiesel from Bengal's manufacturing corridor. BPCL Type III-B Approved. Built for India's toughest applications.
BPCL Type Approved · Now Accepting Industrial OrdersDurgapur — the Ruhr of Eastern India — has powered the nation's steel, chemical, and manufacturing industries for over six decades. This industrial corridor now leads a quieter revolution: the transition from fossil fuel dependency to renewable, locally produced biodiesel.
Shivam Biodiesel Pvt Ltd was established in 2022 to manufacture biodiesel at industrial scale from locally sourced feedstock — creating supply chain value, rural employment, and a credible green alternative for Eastern India's vast industrial base. With USP-grade glycerine exports underway and BPCL-approved OMC tender supply active, the ambition is national and global.
The argument is no longer only environmental. It is financial, regulatory, and strategic. India's largest industrial groups already know this. The question is whether your organisation is ahead of the shift — or catching up.
INDHANA delivers up to 80% lower lifecycle carbon emissions against fossil diesel. ESG targets and Scope 3 commitments become achievable — not aspirational — from week one of adoption.
Unlike fossil diesel, biodiesel qualifies for GST ITC for registered manufacturers and industrial users — a structural cost advantage many competitors have not yet recognised or claimed.
India imports 85% of its crude oil at over USD 100 billion annually. Every litre of domestically produced biodiesel contributes to energy self-reliance — and tells a brand story that resonates with investors and regulators alike.
INDHANA works with existing infrastructure — boilers, DG sets, fleet, water pumps, agricultural machinery. No engine modification, no procurement overhaul. Operational from the first delivery.
Shivam Biodiesel's process plant is engineered for formulation flexibility — not standard commodity transesterification. The facility tunes feedstock composition, reaction parameters, and post-processing profiles to produce biodiesel calibrated to specific industrial requirements.
The result: two distinct product lines from one integrated facility. B100 for OMC tender supply (IS 15607:2022 compliant). And INDHANA — a purpose-engineered industrial fuel tuned for the combustion demands of Indian industry, not defined by any single standard specification.
This capability — producing custom fuel from flexible feedstock blends — enabled Shivam Biodiesel to earn Type III-B approval from BPCL Corporate R&D, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd, a Government of India enterprise and India's most demanding technical authority for biodiesel.
"Sample ID-SSS-7 meets specifications as per IS-15607:2022 in all the above parameters."
— BPCL Corporate R&D Centre, Report CRDC/ANAL/SSS-7 · Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (A Govt. of India Enterprise)Composite TALLOW & Palm Stearin (BPCL tested) · Used Cooking Oil (UCO) · Vegetable oil blends. Multi-feedstock flexibility ensures consistent supply and enables custom product formulation across batch cycles.
Purpose-engineered industrial fuel — not a commodity B100. Custom-formulated for optimal combustion in boilers, DG sets, industrial fleet, water pumps, agricultural equipment, paint and fertilizer plants. GST ITC eligible.
IS 15607:2022 compliant B100. Third-party type approved by BPCL Corporate R&D — all 28 specification parameters cleared. Supplied under India's National Biofuel Policy blending programme to IOCL, BPCL, HPCL.
USP grade glycerine at 99.5% purity for pharmaceutical, personal care, cosmetics, and food-grade applications. Export and domestic supply from active networks.
Industrial-grade fatty acids from the transesterification process — supplied to soap manufacturers and the oleochemical industry across Eastern India.
Named for the Sanskrit root of fuel — इन्धन. INDHANA is not a commodity product. It is a purpose-engineered industrial fuel.
Custom-formulated at Shivam Biodiesel's flexible process plant, INDHANA is tuned for the specific combustion demands of Indian industrial equipment. Unlike B100 conforming to a single IS specification, INDHANA is calibrated across a range of industrial applications — from high-temperature boiler cycles to intermittent DG operations. The result is a fuel that performs where standard biodiesel may fall short.

Custom industrial formulation — not a standard IS specification product. Engineered for performance across boilers, DG sets, fleet, and agri equipment without modification.
We have been regular users of INDHANA biodiesel for the past several months and the fuel runs without any issue across our casting and heavy equipment operations. We adopted INDHANA not only for the cost advantage and GST set-off benefit, but to bolster our sustainability commitments as a responsible industrial manufacturer. It has become an integral part of our operations.
As a petrochemicals business, the quality and consistency of fuel inputs is non-negotiable. We were initially cautious about the transition. Three months in, the results speak for themselves — consistent quality every delivery, no operational disruptions, and a fuel cost structure that makes commercial sense. We now contribute measurably to our own ESG commitments while improving our bottom line.
We offer a 2 KL trial supply for qualifying industrial users. Our team will assess compatibility and calculate your actual cost and carbon savings before you commit.
2 KL of INDHANA for trial, with a full technical compatibility assessment and carbon savings report. Available for users with monthly diesel consumption above 500 litres.
